The Nonsense Factory

The Nonsense Factory aims to create the first general purpose robotics policy by doing the largest scale real-world reinforcement learning training run that has ever been attempted.

We would like for robotics to be a tool that empowers individuals and amplifies the agency we can exert over the environment around us.

We also believe that the greatest way to do good in the world is to create the institutions that stand to exert the greatest influence over the future, and to guide those institutions towards good.
